I just hope Jinbei gets a clue soon! Everyone understands but him, the clueless protag... sigh...

Enjoying the episode and the show. Just hope they wrap it up and tie a bow on it in 26 episodes as season 2 looks unlikely given super crummy sales, with just 401 copies of volume 1 (and I didn't buy it either so I can't really complain).

Poor Hibachi, I think she has it a little tougher than most Tsuderes, Jinbei doesn't even recognize her as being female, she's a comrade in arms and in Jinbei's head that puts her in the category of Men

Did you mean "unlikely"?

Thanks, corrected. I indeed meant unlikely. Unless manga sales are really good or other merch I don't see a season 2.

Decent episode. The fight and OST worked well although I wasn't surprised Jinbei managed to prevail AGAIN. Also, I'm going to assume that the top 3 crucifix insects are on a whole other level compared to the rest. Next week looks like Jinbei will ake on the leader I think and oh, Hibachi is in trouble :<

Honestly I expected it to be worse. It could have been Hibachi being helpless until Jinbei saves here. Instead Jinbei was moral support that provided her with the drive to win, despite getting in her way half the time.

More importantly they showed that there was 0 chance of Jinbei beating that guy on his own.
Without Hibachi there that guy would have just walked Jinbei off a cliff and forget about him.
